Thomas Alfred Jackson (21 August 1879 – 18 August 1955), known as T. A. Jackson or Tommy Jackson, was a founding member of the Socialist Party of Great Britain and the Communist Party of Great Britain. He was a communist activist and newspaper editor, and worked variously as a party functionary, freelance lecturer, and writer. Historian Jonathan Rose described him as "the most brilliant proletarian intellectual to come out of the British Communist Party."
